'media_id' : media ID *Please note that a tweet could be tied to multiple media IDs (for example, one tweet can have multiple images with different media IDs)
'img_feature_0' : Vectorized feature
'img_feature_1' : Vectorized feature

*Training datasets are marked with 'train_' at the beginning of their filenames. Please use these sets to develop the model.
Datasets marked 'test_' at the beginning of their filenames are sets you can use to make predictions with your model and test how well your model performs on unseen data.
The submission file should follow the same format as the example file (solution_format.csv).
Submissions are evaluated on accuracy (that is, 'Number of correct predictions / Total Number of predictions).
NOTE: You may submit a solution file up to 5 times a day.
A few minutes after submitting your solution, you will see the accuracy of your solution on the submission page over a subset of the test data.
Final competition results are based on the Private Leaderboard results, and the winner will be the user at the top of the Private Leaderboard.

a. All source files required to preprocess the data
b. All source files required to build, train and make predictions with the model using the processed data
c. A requirements.txt (or equivalent) file indicating all the required libraries and their versions as needed
d. A ReadMe file containing the following:
• Clear and unambiguous instructions on how to reproduce the predictions from start to finish including data pre-processing, feature extraction, model training and predictions generation
• Environment details regarding where the model was developed and trained, including OS, memory (RAM), disk space, CPU/GPU used, and any required environment configurations required to execute the code
• Clear answers to the following questions:
